Can you get over 500 FPS in Quake 3? Because I can't seem to get over 500, it just caps there. Same in Q2E, I can only get 1000, wont go any higher...
So, any way to get over this?

Impossible to get over 1000. And since you are a modder, you should know that the game "tic" is 1/1000th of a second.

Dunno. You could write to iD software and ask for a refund.

I was being sarcastic
Besides, ATM we have a bug in Q2E where if we get that high a FPS, it just shits out on us and stutters, would you believe
Not being sarcastic about the Q3 500 FPS thing though, any way around it?

Maybe your bug is the same reason Q3 is capped at 500.

I dunno, i mean, when Q3 was made most computers had trouble sustaining 50 fps, never mind that much. Berserk told me about the bug and how he can fix it, lol, so thats not a big concern. Neither is the Q3 thing really. Just thought it was odd because i can clearly get over it because the 500 is stuck there, just odd...

Did you really have to make that screenshot 800k?

Hey, you clicked it buddy. The sample image on the thread is a smaller image to save the 56ker's

Well, the only option above 500 is 1000. So it is entirely possible that your computer might not be able to get 1000.
1000/1 = 1000
1000/2 = 500
1000/3 = 333
1000/4 = 250
1000/5 = 200
1000/6 = 167
1000/7 = 143
1000/8 = 125 the old magic number

I cant seem to get over 125. And I have a very powerful system. Note I have full aa and af and put the graphic settings high.

Isn't the "com_maxfps" variable set to 125 by default out of the box? Or is it lower?
See what yours is set at Asphyxiator.

how do you make it unlimited? /com_maxfps 0?

by o'dium
Yes, 0.

That would be the way to do it if you could make it unlimited, but I'm not sure if it works with that variable.
Just try setting it to 501, or 1000, and see how high you get.

Backflip can be done with strafe keys.

I'm just using your thread to test something.
That's what happens when you fuck with me.

You have to enable the backflip cvar first, but I can never remember what it is.
I don't use it because it really disorients me when I jump.
